These involve the web addresses betanintendo.us and beta.nintendo-eu.com, where visitors are asked to enter their email address in order to receive an invitation code.

Those that dare to do so will soon be sent an email that reads:

“PREPARE FOR REVOLUTION

“Congratulation! You are eligible to join the Nintendo Switch™ Beta Program! You are chosen, which means you can get into the Nintendo Switch Beta!

“Below, you will find a code to redeem. Please note: This code is specifically for your account, so do not share this with anyone.”

The domain was registered through namecheap.com on October 23rd, with the registrar listed as United States resident Fernando Sanchez. It’s a clear fake, but it is always worth flagging for those that are less guarded with their personal details online.
